Good Dent?
« on: April 12, 2009, 09:53:10 PM »
Hey Folks,
   The other day a friend backed into the front passenger door of my XJ. She dented the door and rocker panel. I normally wouldn\'t care about the dent, except the rocker panel is bent up ever so slightly to interfere with the door. Where is a good place to take it to get it fixed? How much do you think its going to run me. I can go snap a pic in the morning for folks who want to see.

I\'ll \"fix\" it for $20 and you can keep a nearly new hammer.  No guarantees on the touch up paint matching.  I have lots of flat black :)

Its a 97\' XJ, serves as both my DD and my trail rig. Since it serves as both, I would like for it to look good as well. I took some pictures, i\'ll post them later tonight.

Mr. Mindless - Sorry, prolly looking for a little better than that haha
meangreen - Think you could give me a google maps link for it?

The other thing I was thinking, is if I could find someone to just cut out the rockers and weld in a piece of steel instead that still looks good? I dont know, just ranting ideas.
